Acute Calcific Periarthritis of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint in a Professional Golfer's Hand
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes a 22-yr-old professional golfer with acute calcific periarthritis of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the 4th finger. We considered that the major cause for this condition may be the repeated minor traumas to the affected site. Also, since this condition is self-limiting, a correct diagnosis is required to avoid unnecessary tests and surgery.

Acute Calcific Tendinitis of the Hand: an Infrequently Recognized and Frequently Periarthritis
Paraarticular calcifications are frequently seen around the shoulders and greater trochanters of the hips. However, calcific deposits in other sites are infrequently recognized or described. Calcific pcriarthritis of the hand, an unusual site of involvement, is often overlooked and underdiagnosed. In 1938 Sandstrom (1) reported that of 329 sites of calcareous deposit, only 8 involved the hand (...

Recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. This report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. The patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...

The diagnosis of acute calcific periarthritis is traditionally confirmed from a radiograph demonstrating periarticular calcifications in the affected area. Care must be taken when using ultrasound as the presentation of periarticular calcification is easily mistaken for a cortical avulsion fracture, requiring a radiograph to distinguish between the 2 differential diagnoses. We present the corre...

Subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ or pastern joint) is an uncommon condition that occurs in the forelimb or hindlimb. Thoroughbred racehorses rarely show dorsal pastern subluxation (Thoroughbred ringbone) secondarily to an injury to the soft tissues supporting the fetlock. A 4-year-old Thoroughbred mare was presented with signs of lameness, swelling of the dorsal aspect of...

Abstract: Objectives: Flexion contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint are of the most common complication result from surgical procedures and traumatic events. Orthotic interventions for treatment of contractures may include serial splinting, serial casting, dynamic and/ or static progressive orthoses, or a combination of these orthoses. This study aimed to determine the effect ...
